Study Abroad Opportunities
from the schoolNYU School of Law Exchange Program
New York University School of Law participates in exchange programs with 16 law faculties around the world. Encouraging our students to study abroad, and receiving exchange students from other countries, enhances the Law School’s goal of providing opportunities for the study of global legal issues. Whether you are from another country looking to come to New York, or an NYU student wishing to spend a semester abroad, the perspectives gained away from your home institution will undoubtedly impact your learning experience. With the return of our students from abroad, and the arrival of new exchange students, we hope to foster an environment where international understandings complement national legal educations.
NYU School of Law J.D. Students Exchange Program
NYU School of Law encourages our J.D. students to consider the possibility of studying abroad as a means to become familiar with a foreign legal perspective in a way unavailable to them in New York. Depending on each student’s individual course of study, the feasibility of spending a semester away from the Law School varies.
J.D. students at NYU School of Law currently in their first or second year are eligible to apply for an exchange semester during their second or third year. Students who transferred to NYU School of Law from another law school are eligible for an exchange semester during their third year. Currently there are 16 approved partner law faculties at which students may study abroad.
If you are interested in one of our approved exchange programs, please take the time to consider all the information available about studying abroad by following the links in the box to the right. Should you have any questions after reviewing the materials here, please contact the Hauser Global Law School Program at law.global@nyu.edu.
